Water and Sewage Pipe Replacement with Bathroom Renovation Project

General Description This project entails the re-piping of the potable water lines from the basement level boiler room and water meter room (hot and cold water and hot recirculation) to all the associated bathroom and laundry area fixtures on both levels of the house which includes 6 bathrooms and 2 laundry areas, 2 kitchens included.

This also includes the replacement of all sewage piping systems from the city sewage system to all bathrooms and kitchen area The existing potable water lines to these described areas, where practical, will be removed.

Where the existing lines are located in areas of the house that will not be affected by the work (i.e., embedded in cement under the tiled floors), these lines will be disconnected and left in place, fully drained and capped if necessary. The garden water line will be renewed until the living room. The line will be left untouched underneath the living room floor.

An additional line for garden water will be installed in the kitchen and furnished with a tap on the side of the building. The lines in the kitchen, that ran in a duct under the radiator on the tiling will be laid under the screed. A new and more practical route will be chosen for the new potable water lines after a site visit(s), and will be mutually agreed upon with the Contractor and Embassy COR.

The tiles in the hallways, laundry rooms and kitchens shall also be removed and replaced the same as in the bathrooms with all corresponding work included. The kitchen furniture, built-in cabinets and the existing shelving will be removed by the Embassy workshops and be reinstalled after the contracted work is done.
